Fail Club || Aaron
PRIORITIZING THE APPROVAL OF MAN OVER THE APPROVAL OF GOD.
Proverbs 29:25: “The fear of man lays a snare.”
Galatians 1:10- (PAUL) “If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
1. Passive Leadership Creates Spiritual Chaos
You can’t be passive AND protective at the same time.
2. People pleasing Feels Practical Before It Feels Sinful
Aaron tries to make rebellion feel religious. People pleasing doesn’t begin in rebellion. It begins in comfort.
When we prioritize our comfort over our calling we set our self up for failure.
3. Fear Produces Excuses, Not Integrity
People-pleasing eventually turns strong men into excuse-makers.
Ben Franklin – “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.”
4. Proximity to God Is Not the Same as Courage
Where Aaron feared the crowd…Jesus confronted it. John 6 Matthew 21 John 19
When we look at Aaron we see a man who built a calf to make the people happy…
When we look at Jesus we see a man bore a cross to make the people holy.
Will we build calves to keep people comfortable… or carry crosses to help people become holy?
